Hello,
I downloaded and installed vuze from here : http://software.opensuse.org/package/Vuze
(I’m using 13.2)
but when I click on vuze on the main menu (Internet -> Vuze) it doesn’t start 
If someone can help me …
Thanks
do you have a java runtime installed, if so what, vuze is a java app it needs a jre to run, I’m not sure the jre that comes with openSUSE has all the needed classes you might need to download and install oracle’s jre
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_Java
ps try qbittorrent it’s a qt c++ app and doesn’t need java
http://software.opensuse.org/package/qbittorrent
open a terminal and start Vuze from it
#Vuze
you’ll see if there are some problems with java or other packages,
note the start-up script starts with a capital V and you must use the proper case.
Result :

OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE [java = openjdk]
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://java.sun.com

I know Vuze is using java JRE but I thought mine was sufficient but it seems that I have to update it.
Yeah for qbittorent 
I don’t like java too but vuze was interesting because it include an option to disconnect the bittorent transfert when vpn disconnect.
But if you know another client bittorrent wich is doing that ?
I followed this to install/update java :
https://www.java.com/fr/download/help/linux_x64rpm_install.xml
But that says :
% rpm -ivh jre-8u25-linux-x64.rpm lib64/java linux-7o7a
Preparing... ################################# [100%]
package jre1.8.0_25-1.8.0_25-fcs.x86_64 is already installed
% rpm -Uvh jre-8u25-linux-x64.rpm lib64/java linux-7o7a
Preparing... ################################# [100%]
package jre1.8.0_25-1.8.0_25-fcs.x86_64 is already installed
I tried to install in /usr/lib64/java
IMO the easiest way to install the Oracle7 JDK (which includes the JRE) is to use the scripts I created
https://github.com/putztzu/openSUSE_Oracle_Java_Install
As the instructions say,
Just download and install the RPM from the Oracle website (link on the page)
Then for either 32-bit or 64-bit, just run the scripts in order.

I cloned your git in my home.
I executed installed the rpm and execute scripts but for the five one:

I tried to start Vuze after that but it doesn’t work:

Vuze worked fine in 13.1, but fails to start in 13.2 for me too. Just install brand new system, download Vuze, start it - get error:
OOPS, you don’t seem to have a valid JRE
Default JRE that comes out of the box is openjdk 1.8.0_40. For some reason Vuze fails to detect it
I filed a support question on their forum, waiting for someone to response: http://forum.vuze.com/Thread-openSUSE-13-2-64bit-openjdk-1-8-0-40-OOPS-no-valid-JRE
Got reply on the official forum. This little modification of “vuze” startup script will resolve the issue:

Also,
I don’t remember if I actually added to the instructions, but in another Forum thread someone mentioned that they didn’t know that my scripts only installed Oracle JDK into openSUSE.
After installing you then need to configure which Java you want to be running, the “update alternatives” utiity enables switching between installed apps (including java).
So, the following allows you to display and select which Java you want running
update-alternatives --config java
You can switch back to openjdk, an installed JRE only or any other java using this same utility.

Thank you for the resolution post tosiara, would you be able to provide a little instructions as to where and how to change the startup script? Thanks.
Downlod Vuze from official site, unpack and you will find the startup script called “vuze” in the root folder. Edit it as in my provided diff
